Nobody raised the flop and the flop bettor now checked the turn. None of those hand sound like an ace they're proud of.

They may not be proud enough of it to bet, but that doesn't mean they're folding.

this is my general impression of these tables. Frequently you'll be surprised at the strength of hands turned over at showdown given the lack of action during the betting rounds. I really think that betting this turn is spewy. Being able to raise someone here is much different as we might fold out the real ace, but a mere bet is gonna be called by a better hand(s) over 90% of the time IMO. At the river, after the button checked the turn and the PFR is still not betting, our odds of having the best hand have increased dramatically.
Just because everyone checks to you and you have a pair, doesn't mean you have the best hand, and certainly doesn't mean you have to bet it.
Consensus seems to be that we have enough hand on the river to merit at least a call. Could a raise be better?
